    Stuck with a stap-on bino adapter?

    Hello Rokslide, I've been using Diamondbacks with an outdoorsman stud in a tripod for years. I recently inherited a pair of Zeiss Victorys after my grandfather passed away. The glass on these obviously blows my Diamondbacks out of the water, and they have pretty serious sentimental value to...

    How do you clean the inside of your boots?

    Howdy Rokslide, Sorry for a gross thread. I wear Zamberlans every day it's not snow machine season. I have kind of chronic athlete's foot and can't seem to shake it for more than a few weeks at a time. I think that the treatments I use on my feet are working, but it's possible I'm...

    Does anyone carry a weapon light on their bear gun?

    Sorry folks, somehow fat-fingered the "post thread" button and made two threads. Trying to figure out how to get this cleaned up.

    Does anyone carry a weapon light on their bear gun?

    Hello Rokslide, I usually carry a Glock 20 in a kenai chest holster in griz country. I recently got a stream light TLR 1 hl for when the glock is on my nightstand or in my truck. I'm a little apprehensive about getting another kenai with room for a light because of: 1) weight - when I'm in...

    Side effects of lasik/prk and the outdoor experience

    Howdy Rokslide, I broke two pairs of glasses this week and just signed up for another lasik consultation. I know folks are generally very happy with the results of lasik/prk. However, I've never met anyone who got the operation that spends as much time outdoors as you folks. I am asking about...

    Idaho 32-A

    Hello Rokslide, I drew a spring bear tag in 32A. I normally spot and stalk spring bear in the end of the season in unit 35. The Weiser River zone in April is a lot different than the Sawtooths in the June rut, so I'm pretty out of my element. I've spent the second week of April glassing...

    Increasing Length Of Pull on a Rifle

    Hello Rokslide, I'm a lanky guy looking to add about 1.25 inches to the synthetic stock on my Tikka T3 superlite. I already have a Limbsaver recoil pad mounted. Does anyone have any experience making some sort of spacer for between their stock and recoil pad? It would be nice if it was...

    Dropping 20# off of draw weight. Am I over-spined?

    Hello Rokslide, I have always shot traditional gear, but recently made the switch to compound after I jacked up my shoulder in an unrelated accident. So please forgive my ignorance here. A buddy sold me a Hoyt Spyder 30 with a couple dozen Easton Axis arrows. The have a spine of 400 and are...

    Hunting pronghorn over water for the first time - any tips?

    Hello Rokslide, I have been gearing up and scouting for Idaho Controlled Hunt 4035 - Either Sex Pronghorn in unit 46-1, 9/10-9/24, Archery Only. I'm tempted to try a decoy because the hunt takes place during the rut, but the biologists and local sporting goods store owners I've talked to have...

    Ever do a honey burn to supplement calling or spot and stalk?

    Hello folks, I've done honey burns before, but only to announce the grand opening of a bait barrel, or to try to entice nocturnal bears to come in on that barrel during legal shooting hours. This year I left the barrels in the barn and am trying a combination of spot-and-stalk and calling. So...

    Idaho guy in the market for his first Muzzleloader - what do I look for?

    Last Fall I accompanied my girlfriend and her family on a muzzleloader cow elk hunt in Idaho’s beaverhead region. I had already committed to a rifle tag in another unit so I was just along as a glassing hand and a beast of burden. We had a great time and I caught the ML bug hard. ML season...
